Hi:

 

You can optimize the drive.

 

W10 automatically detects if it is a mechanical hard drive or SSD and will defragment it if it is a HDD or TRIM it if it is a SSD.

 

There should also be a box to check to automatically run the utility.

 

I run it once a week on my PC's even though I also have it checked to optimize automatically.
